Adding Lube Oil to ULSD for lubricity?

4by4bygodMember

Hi All!

I see a lot of people are still doing this..

what effect would adding a lower BTU oil do to the cetane of the fuel?

what about the calcium or metal additives under injection pressure? would they lead to any injector coking?

Would particulates be increased?

What about the esters used for seal conditioning ( sewlling )? would they affect the rubber parts in the fuel pumps over time?

Lots of guys just say "use a two stroke oil"..isn't the polyisobutelyne in them "allergic" to high temeperatures, such as might be found in a common rail injector system pushing 20,000 PSI?

Any help would be appreciated.. Thanks!
